The Ancient Giants Who Ruled America

“The eyes of that species of extinct Giant,
whose bones fill the Mounds of America, have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now."

-
Abraham Lincoln, 1848

OF
CONEHEADS AND KINGS

In many
respects the West Virginia Mounds are key to understanding the true story of
the Giants who once ruled America. Not only are the West Virginia mound sites
in Charleston, Wheeling and Moundsville, some of the most significant in size
and number in United States, but in 1883, the Smithsonian dispatched a team of
archaeologists to the South Charleston Mound led by Colonel Morris of the
Smithsonian to conduct an extensive dig of the 50 mounds they found there and
issue a detailed report.

The report
shows quite clearly that the team uncovered numerous giants, one of which was
7’6”tall and decorated with six heavy copper bracelets on each wrist and on his
shoulder were three large plates of mica. In another mound, they found a circle
of ten skeletons surrounding another giant skeleton, as well as underground
vaults, various copper and mica ornaments, religious items, pipes and
spearheads. Then, at a depth of nine feet, another giant skeleton was found in
the remains of a bark coffin and it was noted in their report that this giant
had a skull, which was of “the compressed or flat-head type.” In other words,
this skeleton exhibited conehead characteristics similar to those found in
South America and Egypt.

As digs
progressed in other parts of the state, archaeologists in Wheeling, WV found
another grouping a giants ranging in height from 6’7” to 7’6” and also
displaying unusual skull formations with low foreheads that sloped back
gradually, “while the back part of the head is very prominent, much more so than
the skulls of people living today.” Adjacent to these finds, an eight-mile wall
and a hilltop temple were also found in Marshall County on Mount Carbon. And
further down the Cheat River in 1774 settlers found what they dubbed “The Giant
Town,” with numerous gigantic skeletons the most significant being that of an
8-foot tall male.

THE
WHITE GIANTS

Extremely
ancient human remains have been found throughout New York State and New England
that date back to at least 9,000 B.C. In a report from the Syracuse Herald
American in 1983, anthropologists from the Buffalo Museum of Science, 1,400
artifacts were dug up from a site called Phoenix Hill. In a county historical
report called “A History of Livingston County, New York,” published in 1824,
reported that in 1811, an Indian Mound on Mount Morris, rude medals, pipes and
articles were uncovered in association with the remains of a giant “of enormous
size, the jawbone of which was so large that Adam Holslander placed it,
mask-like over his own chin and jaw.”

In 1871, a
newspaper report from Cayuga NY reports that 200 skeletons were removed from a
collapsed mound on the banks of the Grand River. These skeletons were said to
be in a perfect state of preservation and that “the men were of gigantic
stature, some of them measuring nine feet, very few of them being less than
seven feet.” Later the report notes that a lost city was found on a farm in
Dunville NY, in association with two tons of charcoal and various implements
indicating the site of an ancient forge. Further digging revealed axes,
tomahawks, beads and several smoking pipes, some engraved with dogs heads.
Giant skeletons were also unearthed “the skulls of which are of an enormous
size and all manner of shape, some being twice the size of a normal human.”

In addition
to the human skeletons found in NY State, there is also the famous case of “The
Cardiff Giant,” a white alabaster-like statue of an 11-foot man which showed an
exposed penis and hieroglyphic inscriptions. This statue caused a world-wide
sensation and was exhibited in New York City to thousands of paying customers
before it was declared a fake by the NY newspapers, despite the fact that
scholars from Harvard and elsewhere insisted that the statue was genuine. [It seems almost certain this WAS a fake carved from gypsum - NI]

THE
PEARLY QUEEN AND HER COURT

For sheer
mind-blowing diversity, the discoveries across the state of Ohio may be the
richest and most unusual in the country. Not only are there numerous finds of giants
8-10 feet tall, but there are also related finds that are equally astonishing.
Among the most significant are the Cincinnati tablets inscribed with
hieroglyphs, textiles that resemble those from Assyria and Babylon, a skull
examined by a surgeon in Cincinnati that exhibits evidence of brain surgery
that “shows knowledge of practical surgery scarcely excelled at the present
day,” as well as evidence of metallurgy, forges, slag, iron and even saws.

In a mound
in Chillicothe, a metal perforated bird was found, in addition to numerous
carved pipes, one even depicting a duck riding on a fish. At the same mound
site in Chillicothe dozens of skeletons were found wearing copper masks, while
at a related site in the same area at a depth of 14 feet “a massive skeleton
was found encased in copper armor.” Even more astonishing, in an excavation for
a house in West Hickory, workers exhumed “an enormous iron helmet corroded with
rust.”

In another
dig, performed in 1889 in Southern Ohio, a giant was found buried with the
bones of panther and another with 147 bone and shell beads made from Conch and
Pyrula shells imported from the Atlantic Ocean was unearthed.

As amazing
as all these finds are, the discoveries in Newark Ohio deserve special mention.
As reported on the Ohio State University website, several incised and engraved
stones with writing and hieroglyphs were discovered, including the famous
Newark “Holy Stone,” with a condensed version of the Ten Commandments or
Decalogue engraved on it in a peculiar form of post-Exilic square Hebrew
letters. Also in Newark, the magnificent skeleton of an 8-foot tall Queen
bedecked in opulent copper jewelry and pearls was uncovered, while in Centralia
another giant was found encased in copper armor, his mouth stuffed with pearls
“of immense size.”

In addition,
in Bainbridge Ohio, four bodies were found wrapped in pearl-covered robes,
while in a related find in the area one mound yielded two bushels of pearls
containing over 500,000 individual fresh-water pearls, surrounding two giants
wearing copper helmets, one provided with a copper nose. In Cartersville, a
team from the Smithsonian found a vault with “the skeleton of a giant 7’2.”
This skeleton had waist-length jet-black hair. Surrounding this giant, the
Smithsonian team found more bodies and noted in their report that “the bodies
had been prepared after the manner of mummies and upon the stones that covered
the vault were carved inscriptions.” All this evidence was shipped to the
Smithsonian and in the report it noted “this is the most interesting collection
ever found in America.”

COPPER-HELMETED
GIANTS RULE

There have
been a number of intriguing finds in Indiana over the years including the
discovery of eight skeletons, one clad in copper armor, buried in a perfect
circle. In 1888, the Logan Grey’s, a military group led by A.M. Jones were
conducting military exercises on a small island on Eagle Lake near Warsaw,
Indiana. Under a flat stone, they discovered a hole that led to the entrance to
a secret cave that was twenty-five-feet long, fifteen feet wide and eight feet
deep. Inside was the skeleton of a 6’9” giant buried next to a stream that led
to what was called a sacred pool. In 1889, near Kewanna, standing stones were
found on a mound and underneath another giant was unearthed, while in Whitlock,
Indiana another giant was found in association with a group buried in a seating
position. One of the largest finds on record was reported in “A History of
Jennings County Indiana,” published in 1885, it was reported that in 1881 a
nine-foot tall skeleton was unearthed in a local mound, along with the body of
a blond-haired child. And finally, in 1912 an enormous jaw was dug up, that had
double-rows of teeth (double dentitions), a unique characteristic of some
giants discovered in other parts of the country as well.

THE
GREAT PYRAMID MOUNDS OF ILLINOIS

The size and
scale of the Cahokia Mound Complex has been compared in scope and grandeur to
the Great Pyramid.
The site is located at a major confluence of the Mississippi, Missouri and
Illinois Rivers, directly across the Mississippi River from present-day St.
Louis. At its height is was composed of 120 major mounds (of which 80 remain
today) and a city estimated at 40-50,000 people, making it the largest city in
the United States until Philadelphia overtook it in the 18th
Century.

Monk’s Mound
is the largest earthwork in the complex and it measures 100 feet tall, with an
original base of 1,000 feet. These even measurements in feet have raised the
interest of alternative historians, as well as its numerous astronomical
alignments that show great similarities to alignments at Stonehenge and
Teotihuacan, among numerous significant ancient sites. During excavations south
of Monk’s Mound, archaeologists even found a series of wooden post-holes that
they called “an American Woodhenge,” which they likened to Stonehenge and
Woodhenge in England.

In addition,
during excavation of Mound 72, a ridge-top burial mound south of Monks
Mound, archaeologists found the remains of a man in his 40s buried on a bed of
more than 20,000 marine-shell disc beads arranged in the shape of a
falcon, with the bird's head appearing beneath and beside the man's head,
and its wings and tail beneath his arms and legs. Archeologists also recovered
more than 250 other skeletons from Mound 72. Scholars believe almost 62 percent
of these were sacrificial victims, based on signs of ritual execution and
method of burial.

Although
these were the finds revealed to the public after the official 1922 excavation,
a previous unofficial dig at the site un-covered hundreds more skeletons, some
giant in nature, which have all disappeared from the historical record. Between
2002 and 2010, a major copper workshop was discovered with forges and annealing
methods for hardening copper, which included many examples of highly
sophisticated repousse copper plates. In an earlier related find at the site by
the Smithsonian two 10x11 inch sandstone tablets were discovered which
contained inscriptions in “Roman-like capital letters.” These tablets were
shipped to the Smithsonian in Washington D.C. “where they are to be held for
scientific investigation.”

In 1930 Don
Dickson discovered what was described at the time as the largest Neolithic
burial site in the world, 90 miles south of Peoria at the intersection of the
Illinois River. Working with the University of Chicago, Dickson unearthed 248
of the skeletons, for an open-air museum. The site was estimated to have over
three thousand burials, many of them of an unusual and gigantic stature. At its
height, the Dickson Mounds Museum attracted 75,000 visitors a year, who were
able to view the skeletons en situ as they were uncovered by the
archaeologists. In 1990, local Indian tribes had the site closed and the
remains re-buried in their tribal cemetery, even though there is no genetic
link between the local Indians and the remains of the Mound Builders.

TO
SAVE THE MOUNDS

At the turn
of the 20th Century there was a national awareness of the Mound
Builder’s and their extensive earthworks that far exceeded contemporary consciousness
on the subject. Since the majority of the country still lived an agrarian
lifestyle, awareness of the mounds was reinforced by daily contact with the
actual sites themselves. Current estimates put the number of known American
mounds at well over 100,000.

In 1905,
Congress was petitioned to save the mound builder sites from destruction. As
was noted in the discussion of the Cahokia Mounds, close to half the mounds in
that complex were destroyed by farmers and city construction. In the case of Cahokia,
it took until the 1964 for that complex to receive official protection as a
National Historic Landmark. Similar tales were told across the nation, since
the majority of these sites were on private lands and the government offered no
compensation for preservation of the mounds. To compound matters, the Mound
Builders still have no official standing as an indigenous Native American
People, as no official descendents of the Mound Builders have ever been
recognized by the courts of the United States.

THE
GREAT COPPER KINGDOM

When
reconstructing the true history of the mound builders in America, there is no more
important place than Isle Royal, situated in Lake Superior, just off the
Keweenaw Peninsula in northern Michigan. Because of a freak volcanic event that
twisted the copper-bearing bedrock above the water line, thus allowing all the
sulphur impurities to burn away in the open air, the copper found at Isle Royal
is the purest found anywhere in the world. The entire region is scarred by
ancient mine pits and trenches up to 20 feet deep. Carbon-dating testing
of wood remains found in sockets of copper artifacts indicates that some are at
least 5700 years old, while other open digs around the area have been dated to
8-10,000 years old. The most conservative estimates calculate that during a ten
thousand year period, over 500,000 tons of copper was taken from the mines. At
the other end of the spectrum in “Prehistoric Copper Mining in the Lake
Superior Region,” published in 1961, Drier and Du Temple estimated that
over 1.5 billion pounds of copper had been mined from the region.

Since
traditional researchers refuse to analyze European copper for its probable Michigan
signature, no one has been able to account for where all this copper ended up.
That it was traded and used extensively across the United States by the Mound
Builders there is no question. But this is no way can account for the magnitude
of copper taken out of these unique mines. What researchers have determined is
a continuous history mining activity that begun in 8,000 B.C. and then abruptly
ended around 1500 B.C., contemporaneous with the volcanic explosion on Cretan
Thera (Santorini). Since rock-cut pictures of Cretan trading vessels have been
found in the area, this lends credence to the Cretan connection in North
America at a very early date. In addition, researchers have also determined
that copper mining activity resumed again around 900 A.D. This date corresponds
perfectly with related evidence of a Viking presence in the area around that
same date.

The
Iowa Mastodon Pipe and Ancient Hieroglyphs

On the scale
of highly-anomalous out of place artifacts (OOPARTS), the Iowa Mastdon
and Mammoth pipes have to be ranked right up at the very top. What are we to
make of these undeniably authentic artifacts? Then, when you add the Davenport
Stela to the mix, things get even stranger. The stele was found in an Indian
Mound in 1877 and according to Harvard Professor Barry Fell, the stela contains
writing in Egyptian, Iberian-Punic and Libyan. The Smithsonian, of course, says
the three stela’s are fake. What the Smithsonian cannot say is fake are the
over 100 skeletons that institution found in Poplar Bluff, including a chief
who measured seven feet eight inches tall. Then there are the discoveries of
the Iowa Archaeological Survey in association with the WPA, who uncovered 35
houses averaging 30 square feet, or the 75 foot temple mound that was found
adjacent to the houses, or the eleven skeletons found buried in a circle with
another chief in the center, this one 7’5” tall or the double-toothed giant
exhibited in 1900 in a Williamsburg store window. All in all, Iowa is one
strange state and the finds there are some of the most unusual found anywhere
in the United States.

America’s
Nasca and the Pictoral Mounds of the Giants

As was the
case with Michigan’s copper mines, the most unique aspect of Wisconsin’s Mound
Building culture, is not the plethora of giants unearthed in the area, but the
amazing animal effigy mounds that covered the state like a blanket of woodland
imagery. It has been estimated that in one county alone in Wisconsin, there
were originally over 10,000 effigy mounds. It is no exaggeration to say that
Wisconsin was an ancient version of the Nazca plateau in South America, which
is famous world-wide for the thousands of animal images cut into the bedrock
there. The images that covered Wisconsin were endless and covered the gamut
from human forms, to snakes, lizards, foxes, rabbits, fish and mammoths.
Unfortunately no official attempt has ever been made to save these from
destruction and at this point in time the vast majority of mounds that once
blanketed the state have been destroyed.

On the more
traditional front, archaeologists have uncovered evidence of advanced culture
and mining activities in the state, dating back to at least 9,000 B.C. At sites
like Oconto and Osceola, copper artifacts including spears, arrow-points,
knives, adzes, gouges, fishhooks and harpoons have been found in association
with textiles, drilled beads and even bone flutes that can still be played.

In one
notable case, it was reported that an 8-foot tall giant was unearthed near
Pelican Lake, while in another report from Westport, giant burials were found
in association with ten-pound axes and an eight-foot high wall, which was
15-feet thick and ran across a river embankment for 1500 feet. It was noted
that the wall was made from hard red bricks, some of an immense size. In the woods
nearby the shore, a mound was opened which contained a giant buried with
several rolls of textiles and a finely-finished grooved stone axe.

The
Lost Kingdom of the Red-Haired, Blue-Eyed Indians

The Mandan
Indians are generally found in North Dakota and since their first contact with French
explorers in 1738, this blond and red-haired, blue-eyed tribe has been the
source of intense speculation as to their European origins. In 1796, the Mandan
were visited by the Welsh explorer John Evans, who was hoping to find proof
that their language contained Welsh words. Evans had arrived in St. Louis 2
years prior, and after being imprisoned for a year, was hired by Spanish
authorities to lead an expedition to chart the upper Missouri. Evans spent the
winter of 1796–97 with the Mandan but found no evidence of any Welsh influence.
In July 1797 he wrote to Dr. Samuel Jones, "Thus having explored and
charted the Missurie for 1,800 miles and by my Communications with the Indians
this side of the Pacific Ocean from 35 to 49 degrees of Latitude, I am able to
inform you that there is no such People as the Welsh Indians.”

In1804,
Lewis and Clark spent time visiting with the tribe and it was here that they
met Sacagawea, who later aided them as a scout and translator. Then even later
in 1833, western artist George Catlin, who was also convinced of their European
roots, lived with the tribe and painted their village life and religious
ceremonies. Although traditional archaeologists reject outright any European
heritage for this mysterious tribe, no definitive Haplogroup X testing has ever
been done on any of the surviving tribe members and until scientific blood work
is performed, all theories as to their original origins are purely based on
superstition, academic bias and ill-founded opinions.

SACRED
POOLS, SECRET CAVES AND THE HALLS OF THE MOUNTAIN KINGS

In all my
extensive research into the hidden history of giants in America, the most detailed,
wide-ranging and colorful account I came across was “The Natural And Aboriginal
History of Tennessee,” by Dr. John Haywood, which was first published in 1823.
Haywood combines an exhaustive first person account of his many astonishing
discoveries in combination with an excellent overview of the previous
historical finds in the area. Among his many amazing discoveries are accounts
of giants found in a walled spring, caves with stones that rolled away
containing more giants, and four upright standing stones that formed a square
box inside of which was the body of another giant. About ten miles from Sparta
a skeleton 8-feet tall was found in association with perfectly smooth and round
stones and an ancient child’s toy set.

Perhaps his
most amazing finds were the tiny mounds that contained caskets of the
three-foot tall “moon-eyed children,” who are the pygmies that were said to
accompany the giants. The three-foot tall pygmies were originally said to have
come from North Carolina and legends say that were mischievous and only liked
to come out at night. Cherokee lore recounts that they waged war against these
Moon-eyed people and drove them from their home in Hiwassee, a village in
Murphy, North Carolina, and west into Tennessee.

In addition
to numerous giants and pygmies, Haywood discovered grave goods including bloody
axes, a stone trumpet hunting horn, carved mastodon bones, soapstone statues
and pipes. In a cave on the south side of the Cumberland River, a secret room
was discovered that was 25 feet square and showed sign of engineering, as it
contained a large rock-cut well, as well the skeleton of a blond-haired giant.
Outside of Sparta, a standing stone was discovered that marked the burial of
more over-sized skeletons. In another burial at the top of the nearby hill,
carved ivory beads were found of the “finest and best quality,” while in a dig
at Ohio Falls Roman coins depicting Claudius II and Maximinus II were
uncovered. In 1794, it is reported that an ancient furnace was discovered and
in association with it a bar of iron was discovered, as well as annealed and
hardened copper implements.

OF
MOON-EYED CHILDREN AND MICA

Although
North and South Carolina are not generally known for their ancient mound
builder cultures,
it turns out that both states have a long and colorful history of giants,
missing skeletons, pygmies called “moon-eyed children,” and ancient sheet mica
mines that were used to supply major mound builder sites across the North
American continent.

Some of the
oldest spear heads ever found were discovered in the Pee Dee Basin in the South
Carolina counties of Florence, Darlington, Marlboro and Marion counties. The
oldest of these spear point are of Clovis origin and have been carbon-dated to
10,000 B.C. In addition, these points were found in association with Mammoth
and Mastodon kills. In addition to the spear points, some of the oldest pottery
every discovered comes from South Carolina. It is what is called
“fiber-tempered” pottery and it was found in association with polished stone
tools, various scrapers, projectile points and lithic material.

In North
Carolina, significant finds were made in the Yadkin Valley of Caldwell County
in1883 that included one group of four in seated positions and two lying on
their backs. One of the recumbent skeletons was of a man who was reported to be
seven feet tall. At another site in the North Carolina foothills, 26 skeletons
were found in unusual burial positions associated with other mound builder
sites. In this case, 16 skeletons were found in seated, squatting and prone
positions in the center of which was a skeleton standing upright in a large
stone cist.

In
association with the fabled ancient copper mines found in the Northern
Peninsula of Michigan, the mica mines of North Carolina are the most
significant natural resource site in North America. The importance of mica to
the mound builder culture cannot be over-emphasized. Throughout the United
States and Mexico, numerous mound builder burials have revealed a plethora of
mica jewelry, ornaments and decorations, the majority of which can be linked to
these mica mines that archaeologists estimate have been worked since ancient
pre-historic times.

The
Poverty Point Metropolis

Although the
Cahokia mound complex near St. Louis is considered the major mound site on the
Mississippi River,
the Poverty Point earth works in Louisiana, is the most ancient temple site and
trading center on the Mississippi River. As the vast extent of this site has
been uncovered, its primacy as the major trading site of the ancient America’s
has gradually gained credence with traditional scholars. Poverty Point is constructed
entirely of earthworks. The core of the site measures approximately 500 acres
(2.0 km2), although archaeological investigations have shown
that the total occupation area extended for more than three miles (5 km)
along the river terrace.

The monumental
construction is a group of six concentric, crescent ridge earthworks, divided
by five aisles radiating from the center at the river bank. The site also has
several mounds both on the outside and inside of the ring earthworks. The name
"Poverty Point" came from the plantation which once surrounded the
site. The United States nominated Poverty Point for inclusion on the UNESCO World Heritage
List in January 2013.

The vast
majority of artifacts uncovered at Poverty Point are small, baked shapes made
of loess, which are usually balls, bicones or ropes, all of which have
been described as “Poverty Point Objects” or PPOs. Archaeologists have long
debated their uses. They have concluded the fired earth objects were used in
cooking, a conclusion reached through experimental archaeology. When placed in
earth ovens, the objects were shown to hold heat and aid in cooking food.Stone
boiling was an alternate way of heating up food before pottery could withstand
the heat. The soil of the lower Mississippian Valley located at Poverty Point
does not contain proper pebbles so, the manufacture of artificial stones were
necessary.

In recent
years, the theory that these anomalous clay balls, fire-pits and other PPO’s
were used for cooking has come under intense debate and more recent discoveries
linking this site to the copper-producing region of the Great Lakes, has led
some scholars to posit that what was really going on at Poverty Point was
actually the refining of copper for trade goods, the theory being that raw
copper was brought down from Michigan during the summer months and then refined
for manufacture and trade during the winter in the warmer climate of Louisiana.

Although
skeletal finds at the Poverty Point complex are rare, workmen in Winnsboro LA,
engaged in a drainage project, found the remains “of a race of giants twelve
feet in height.” The workers noted that “the skulls are in a perfect state of
preservation and some of the jawbones are large enough to surround a baby’s
body.” In a related find in Alabama, 400 skeletons were unearthed at
Moundville, Alabama, by the Alabama Museum of Natural History, who estimated
that some of the skeletons dated to 3,000 B.C., with the largest specimen
measuring 7’6” tall.

Texas
Giants on the Beach

In Texas,
where everything is big, it would be to the state’s ever-lasting horror, if it turned out
that their giants were smaller than those of other giants who once ruled over
the rest of America in ancient times. In 1931, The San Antonio Press announced
that the a Federal WPA archaeological team digging in association with the
University of Texas, discovered what at that time was called “the largest human
skull found in the world in Victoria County Texas.” Dubbed the giant on the
beach, photographs reveal that this skull was “twice the size of the skull of a
normal man.” These finds were held at the University of Texas, where Dr.
Hrdlickson of the Smithsonian examined them and related discoveries and in a
joint press release it was said that “these finds in Texas are beginning to
give weight to the theory that man lived in Texas 40,000 to 45,000 years ago.”

Other
“Texas-size” finds in this part of the country are also impressive. These
include the extensive examples of pottery and copper-work from the Caddo
culture that covered Northern Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana and Arkansas and
include engraved slates matching those found in Minnesota, as well as repousee copper
pieces identical to those recently uncovered in Cahokia. In addition, in
Oklahoma, the remains of a city of 100,000 people was discovered and destroyed
and on a near-by hillside the remains of a massive forge complex was recently
identified and is under current study. For those who say that there was no
fresh water to supply this city, related mound builder sites have been
discovered in association with the Comal County Springs in New Braunfels, which
is one of the largest fresh-water aquifers in North America, supplying
212,000,000 gallons of fresh water every 24 hours. In addition to the fresh
water, a cave system has also been identified in this same area of associated
mound builder sites. Called the Bremher Cave complex, it stretches for a radius
of ten miles and a test made of voice vibration found that voices could be
heard for a distance of two and a half miles south of the point of origin.
There have been no studies to date to determine whether this is a natural or
man-made phenomona.

Cliff
Dwellers and Disappearing Cities

In order to
make sense of the extraordinary finds made in the Western Desert Regions of the
United States,
it is necessary to completely change your mental image of this area in terms of
antiquity and geology. That this region of the country had high culture as
early as 8,000 B.C. will be proven by the giant mummies wrapped in fine
textiles and dated to that period and found in Spirit Cave in Nevada. But none
of these finds will make any sense until you realize that prior to the gigantic
Lassen volcanic explosion posited sometime around 5,000 B.C., the western
region United States that included California, Nevada New Mexico and Arizona,
was covered by a fresh water lake called Lake Lohanton, which was as large as
the biggest of the Great Lakes and situated at a height of 5,000 feet. The Lene
Lenapi Indians on the East Coast of America, report that they originally lived
in the West until their world was destroyed by fire and they were forced to
migrate to the other side of the Mississippi River in search of food and
shelter.

Although the
Cliff Dwellers are generally thought of as a recent tribe, Smithsonian field
reports from 1910 report signs of construction dating back at least 5,000 years
at some of the kivas that they explored. Hieroglyphs were discovered in 1926 at
sites in New Mexico and Arizona and a correspondent from the Smithsonian
reports from a 1910 PUYE cliff dweller excavation that “It is estimated by the
Smithsonian people that 10,000 lived on the face of this one cliff and that the
population of the adjoining cliffs and on the mesas was fully 100,000 people.”
In another report from 1910, M.J. Brown comments on “the great quantities of
Portland cement that plastered almost every one of the hundreds of rooms in the
kiva.” Later on in the same report Brown quotes Hewitt of the Smithsonian
expedition as saying, “The Pueblos have traditions, legends, or anything
regarding these cliff people. There is too great a difference in the heads of
the Cliff Dwellers skeletons and the present Indians to allow any connection or
relationship between them.”

To give a
further idea of just how distorted our view of the extent and size of the Cliff
Dweller population, here is a report from the Oakland Tribune of 1926 about the
discovery of a six-mile long straight city in Nevada. “The ruins run in a
continuous line of six miles and are about a half mile wide. The outlines of
the houses of stone and adobe are clearly seen.”

The
Giants of Stonehenge Island

When looked
at in its entirety, it seems fitting that our trip west across United States in search of the
ancient giants who once ruled this land, should end at the Pacific Ocean with
the biggest discoveries saved for last. The first major discovery involves what
was called The Death Valley Temple of the Giants. This story from the 1947
edition of The Nevada News relates how Dr. F. Bruce Russell, following up on
reports that the Smithsonian had hidden evidence of giants found Death Valley,
eventually uncovered a complex of 32 caves in an 180 square mile radius around
the California/Nevada border. Inside he reported finding the skeletons of 8-9
foot giants dressed in animal skins that had been tailored into jackets and
pants that resembled “prehistoric Zoot-suits.”

Inside the
complex of caves, Russell reported finding hieroglyphs, extensive weapons,
religious artifacts and cooking utensils and at the end of a hall leading from
the main temple he said there was a room filled with the well-preserved remains
of dinosaurs, saber-toothed tigers, imperial elephants and other extinct beasts
paired off in niches as if on display.”

In 1911, it
was reported that William Altmann, assistant curator of the Golden Gate
Memorial Museum, found skeletons, pottery and artifacts in Port Costa,
including the skeleton of a giant more than seven feet tall. Later the same
year, Altmann reported finding more giants on an island in the Santa Barbara
Channel, including one skeleton that measured in at 7’4” tall. In 1934, The
Bakersfield Californian reported that The Smithsonian, under the direction of
Dr. W.T. Strong and W.M. Walker, removed 564 skeletons and 4,000 artifacts from
a series of mound sites site near Taft, California. According to the article
The Smithsonian commissioned Pavey L. Stanly of Bakersfield to make a topographical
site of the finds, which was to be filed with the collection at The
Smithsonian. In 1930, hundreds more skeletons were unearthed near the beach in
Carpinteria.

But the most
amazing discoveries in California were eventually found on Catalina Island. In
the 1920’s, the island of Catalina was owned by the Wrigley Chewing gum family,
who hired Prof. Ralph Glidden to conduct a series of digs on the island under
the direction of the Catalina Museum. What they found made headlines around the
world, only to be written out of the history books less than 10 years later. In
short, Glidden and his team exhumed the remains of 3,781 skeletons of a race of
blond-haired giants. The tallest was believed to be a king who measured 9’2”
tall and the average height of the skeletons was reported to be around 7 feet.
In addition, the team found the remains of a megalithic “Stonehenge-era”
temple. Later radio-carbon dating revealed that some of the skeletons unearthed
were 7,000 years old. For over 50 years the proofs pertaining to these
discoveries were vigorously denied by the University of California and The
Smithsonian, but in 2011 it was finally admitted that the evidence for these
finds had been locked away from the public in the restricted-access evidence
rooms of the Smithsonian, along with detailed field reports and hundreds of
photos.

5
Historical Accounts Suggesting a Race of Giant Humans Once Existed

There are
many speculations about a race of giant humans who lived alongside modern man during
ancient times, but for one reason or another have disappeared. Since the only
evidence we have about these giant beings are testimonies or lore, it’s unclear
of what caused their disappearance or whether they did, in fact, exist.

Here are 5 accounts that mention
the existence of a giant human race:

1. Megalithic structures in
Ecuador created with advanced technology

In 2012, a
team of researchers and explorers visited the Amazonian jungle in Ecuador and discovered what might be an ancient pyramid
complex. Giant humans are said to have lived in the forgotten cities.

According to
Mayan lore, the last of the Earth-giants—Cabrakan—was tricked and poisoned by
the Hero Twins, ending his earthquake-causing ways.

3. U.S. President Abraham Lincoln:

“The eyes of
that species of extinct giants, whose bones fill the mounds of America,
have gazed on Niagara, as ours do now.”

4. Explorer John Smith wrote in 1608:

“The
Sasquesahanougs are a Gyant-like people. They measured the calf of the
largest man’s leg, and found it three quarters of a yard about, and all the
rest of his limbs were in proportion; so that he seemed the stateliest and most
goodly personage they had ever beheld. His arrows were five quarters yard long,
headed with the splinters of a white chrystal-like stone…”

5. 16th Century Spanish explorer,
Hernando de Soto:

Spanish
explorer, Hernando de Soto, described men half a yard (1.5 feet) taller than
his tallest men.
